A quick park 'n' grab with some history built into it.
Pull into spacious turnout for this fast lesson on local history.
The Ridge Route was built in 1915 and was the super highway of its
day. Perhaps this cache will whet your appetite for more history on
the Ridge Route. We have a series of caches on both the Southern
and Northern portions.
The junction of Interstate 5 and State Highway 126 is known as
Castaic Junction. Officially the Ridge Route was the 48 miles of
highway between Castaic Junction and the small settlement of
Grapevine to the north in the San Joaquin Valley.
Note that there is no parking at any time at the side of the
road, but the turnout is meant for viewing the historical plaque so
please pull fully into the turnout. Watch for nearby hotel muggles
and passing cars.

This was actually the last we found of the Ridge Route series. We certainly enjoyed the historic drive. Replaced bag that log was in.

Flying around the Fillmore area with Flaglady, enjoying the 126 on 126 series and nearby caches.  We had a blast with all the caches and I reached a personal best of 143 finds today. Thanks for adding to our fun with your cache.  Enjoyed the local history lesson on this one.

Found after a Cub Scout mistletoe harvest. I never knew that this CA historical marker was here.
